Kenya Update #4
Well, it is 4:00 PM in the afternoon in Melindi and we have completed the Sunday morning worship in our new churches for the week. Everything has gone fine with salvations this morning. Marjorie, Ann, Sydney, Ann, and Jeannie made it back from their safari. They had an awesome time.
Adolph, Ed, Tony and I (Debbie) went to Kewondonie Baptist Church on Saturday. This is the church Tony served out of 3 years ago and goes back each year to visit. It was like a homecoming. Many of the pastors and friends came there to see Tony and meet his wife. I was treated like royalty. It was very moving…. They missed Charles Ortega and sent him a gift. They had hoped he was coming. They have committed to praying for him daily that he will be elected to public office. In that way, he can serve according to God’s will and not man’s. They were so excited. We planted trees (4 of them) in honor of our visit. Charles’ and Tony’s trees from last year are really growing. The church gave a good report of their building project that many of our members have helped support. They are spending the money as agreed and the church is coming along.
Today, Claire, Maurine, and Ed have gone to see the progress on the churches they have supported. The reports should be exciting and encouraging.
Well, gotta go. I will try to email again close to the middle of the week. We will be leaving Thursday morning and arriving Friday afternoon. We all look forward to seeing our friends and family again.
Till then,
Love Debbie and Tony
